boysboysboys 278 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Gangnam. Yes! I know it's weird, but I want him to shame Taylor into returning to her country and songwriting roots. Like, leave the chart toxicity to the likes of Katy and Rihanna. That's because US radios won't play it enough - explain this given that Gangnam Style is selling over twice as much as Diamonds? 17. RIHANNA – Diamonds: 63.815 (+ 2.428) â–² 19. PSY – Gangnam Style: 62.978 (+ 1.417) â–¼ ARGH! I'm so fukcing over the politics! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magoo 6 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 im not impressed by taylor.. sure all the songs sell well when the album isnt out? but then what? its only her lead single that will do great. and now half the album is out.. I reckon Taylor's strategy works for getting big album sales, but results in a short era. Probably a lot of the promo-single sales will be negated by 'complete my album'. I'd rather Gaga for ARTPOP goes for making it a long era and doesn't screw up the singles strategy with pre-album release promos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great way for artists like Taylor, Gaga, and Lil Waye with million selling album debuts, to make impact on the singles chart BEFORE all their fans have bought the album. It's hardcore fans who automatically download those promo singles - people who would buy the album 1st week or 1st month. The people who need radio and tv promo to buy are largely unaffected. Great strategy - and it's album promo too! If you want long era like Katy, you need to be an emerging star OR have fans of your singles who DON'T buy the album. Bottom Line - I see NO downside to Gaga using promo singles at all. If she'd held EoG back, it would have peaked #6 instead of #3. Hair would have peaked higher if the album didn't leak about the same time it was released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommymonster44 0 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Rhythmic radio seems racist. PSY's sound should be perfect for them. If he was black like Flo Rida, they'd be playing it to death by now. Yet it is only #19. http://kworb.net/radio/ Rofl Rhythmic plays white people's songs all the time. Rihanna slaying atm.

Magoo 6 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 KWORB predicting around 430,000 debut for Taylor's trouble Yeah; I'm getting around 420K for IKYWT. Taylor's big debuts are helping One More Night keep its Hot 100 position. That's because, as it seems to work out, there are only so many Sales points for the Hot 100 that the top 10 or so digital songs have to share, so if Taylor takes a big chunk, there is less for everyone else, and then Radio Play has a bigger effect for them.

Although TEOG could have easily peaked at 1 if it was the official second single, or had been given a proper release, being sent to radio and iTunes simultaneously.
